i thought it telling that in both these photos, my beloved bulldog Ransom appears as a ghost or a hologram, as though he is somehow caught between 2 worlds. the one of eternal sleep (or is this where we are fully awake?), and this one.

he has been fighting an aggressive lymphoma for the last 6-7 weeks. round 3 of chemo is scheduled for november 22nd.

he's the best and bravest dog i've ever known, and he has my heart.

  1. that's sad.. I wish him well.
    that photo of him is amazing.
    i am having a crush at holga now.
    do you need to get the 35mm back too or you can shoot with 35mm film with your 120 alone?

  2. i actually just ordered a 35mm Holga because i often take multiple cameras out with me. i am a camera hog. the canon, the pentax, the holgas, and tomorrow i am going thrift store hunting for a polaroid.

  3. Kris is he hurting? Does he still have a good quality of life? Breaks my heart what he is going through. The pictures have a certain ghostly melancholy to them. Lovely.

    You and your pictures are luring me into somewhere as well:) I will buy myself a 35mm Holga soon, I suppose.

    He is a such a brave dog!!! Look cool in your film.

  6. Fei An that is so funny. I went out with my holga, pentax, and D50 on Saturday and went thrift store hopping in hopes of finding a polaroid~! and i ordered the 35mm Holga last week since developing 120 film is p.r.i.c.e.y.
